BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Gloves have been used in society for a very long time. Used to protectthe hands, and to improve one's grip. Traditional gloves have fingersand fingerless gloves have been around for quite some time as havewallets. Generally, there are two types of gloves. One type envelops allportions of the hand including the fingers and the palm, and the otheris the fingerless glove adapted to envelop the palm portion of the handand the lower parts of the fingers while allowing the tips of thefingers to be exposed. Wallets also, are generally designed to carryIdentification cards, credit cards and money. Wallets are designed invarious sizes, giving them a capacity to carry less or more items;(credit cards, money, pictures, and sometimes a key). Cell phone casesconsist of two basic types; one that is clipped to you and the otherthat must be carried; carried in your hand, or other carrying device;pocket, purse, backpack, etc. Cases/covers also serve to protect yourcell phone from scratches and dents and greatly vary as to how you phonewill hold up if dropped.

The present invention relates to an improvement in all mentioned above;the glove, the wallet and the cell phone case/cover. Merging these threeitems into one unit, that protects your phone, keeps yourIdentification, credit cards and money together, frees up your hand todo what you want and alleviates the need for cell phone belt clips casesand covers, wallets, pockets, purses, and backpack or other devices tocarry your cell phone, Identification, credit cards and money.

The Pocket Glove expands itself into the cell phone case/cover industry,the accessory wallet/purse industry and the glove industry.

Conventional cell phone cases/covers are used with a clip-on mechanismto attach the case on one's waist the alternative to this, is to carrythe cell phone in the palm of one's hand, in a front or back pocket orin objects such as backpack, purse, briefcase, etc. This is problematicas the clip-on mechanism requires wearing a belt or somehow clipping itto clothing and risk tearing them. Additionally, all cell phonecases/covers are not equal in their ability to protect your phone ifdropped while carrying it in your hand.

Carrying your phone in your hand, pockets, or other carrying objects(purse, backpack, etc.) are all associated with high statistics in phonelosses, phone thefts and phone damages due to being dropped. Peoplehabitually lay their phone down in public places, subsequently they arelost or stolen. Phones are lost or damaged when they fall out of backpockets and when placed in carrying devices (purse, backpack, etc.,)there is a greater risk of lost due to theft including pockets beingpicked.

Traditionally wallets have been associated with men who carry them intheir pocket, women who carry them in a purse; and then those personswho carry wallets in backpacks, briefcases, etc. wallets are used tocarry mainly Identification, credit cards and money. The contents of thewallet and how it is used/carried result in losses due to (pocketspicked, purses/backpack stolen and or lost).

Another common problem with phones and wallets is accessibility. Quickaccess is limited to the body position (standing or sitting) when phonesand wallets are placed in pockets. Quick access is dependent on the sizeof the object (purse, backpack, etc.) used to carry the cell phone orwallet as well as the number of other items being carried.

The pocket glove provides a solution to the problems mentioned above. Itis a gender-neutral device for carrying wallet items (identification,credit cards and money) and cell phone. It alleviates losing phone orwallet due to theft (pockets picked, purse backpack, other carryingdevice stolen). It does not require a phone case/cover, no belt, and noclothing to clip to and risk tearing. It does not require pockets andthus there is no fear of phone or wallet falling out of pockets or beingstolen from pockets. No losses due to habitually laying phone down inpublic places and forgetting it/leaving it behind or it being stolen. Nodamages due to dropping phone while carrying it around in your hand andespecially when trying to do other things with your hand. Easy access nosearching in a backpack, purse, or trying to get it out of pocket.

The pocket is attached on the dorsal side of the hand and is suitablefor securing items in the pocket. The pocket when used to carry androidor iPhone provides a secure carrying device with accessibility for phoneusage while contained in the pocket. Used as a hand wallet it provides agender-neutral device for carrying wallet items (identification, creditcards and money). Breathable material, light weight. Material is suchthat there is phone visibility, can see phone Apps.

The glove can be with or without fingers and with a full palm coverageor partial palm coverage. The glove's pocket can be made with fabric orvinyl to partially expose the contents in the pocket or to fully exposethe contents in the pocket. The pocket allows the user to carry thingswithout limiting the use of their hand. The items in the pocket can besecured with a closure device such as a zipper, snaps, Velcro or otherclosing mechanisms.

Pocket glove allows users to perform various daily activities and sportsand entertainment type activities; hike, ride bicycle, exercise, dance,grip, carry things, use crutches, walker, perform many work-relatedtasks all while the phone and wallet items are in the pocket glove. Theglove has options which are for aesthetic purposes, it can be producedas fingerless or with fingers, with palm partially exposed or palmenclosed. Pocket is used to carry wallet items; identification, creditcards, money and android or iPhone with quick access. The Mobile PocketGlove is a Non-gender Hand Wallet.
